Abstract The role of ubiquitin-mediated degradation mechanisms in the pathogenesis diffuse large B cell (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) is not completely understood. We show that conditional deletion E3 ubiquitin ligase Fbxo45 germinal center B-cells results B-cell lymphomagenesis homozygous (100%) heterozygous (48%) mice. Mechanistically, FBXO45 targets RHO guanine exchange factor ARHGEF2/GEF-H1 for degradation. Double genetic ablation Arhgef2 ameliorated formation. Transgenic knock-in...
Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUbs) play important roles in many ubiquitin-dependent pathways, yet how DUbs themselves are regulated is not well understood. Here, we provide insight into the mechanism by which ubiquitination directly enhances activity of ataxin-3, a DUb implicated protein quality control and disease polyglutamine neurodegenerative disorder, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3. We identify Lys-117, resides near catalytic triad, as primary site wild type pathogenic ataxin-3. Further...

Abstract Dysregulated ROR-γt-mediated IL-17 transcription is central to the pathogenesis of several inflammatory disorders, yet molecular mechanisms that govern factor activity ROR-γt in regulation are not fully defined. Here we show SUMO-conjugating enzyme Ubc9 interacts with a conserved GKAE motif induce SUMOylation and suppress expression. Th17 cells expressing SUMOylation-defective highly colitogenic upon transfer Rag1 –/– mice. Mechanistically, facilitates binding HDAC2 promoter...
Identification of biomarkers and therapeutic targets is a critical goal precision medicine. N-glycoproteins are particularly attractive class proteins that constitute potential cancer for small molecules, antibodies, cellular therapies. Using mass spectrometry (MS), we generated compendium 1,091 (from 40 human primary lymphomas cell lines). Hierarchical clustering revealed distinct subtype signatures included several subtype-specific biomarkers. Orthogonal immunological studies in 671...

Deregulation of signaling pathways controlled by protein phosphorylation underlies the pathogenesis hematological malignancies; however, extent to which deregulated may be involved in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) is largely unknown. To identify events important B-NHLs, we performed mass spectrometry-based, label-free, semiquantitative phosphoproteomic profiling 11 cell lines derived from three B-NHL categories: Burkitt lymphoma, follicular and mantle-cell lymphoma. In all, 6579 unique...

Trace element selenium (Se) is incorporated as the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine, into selenoproteins through tRNA[Ser]Sec. Selenoproteins act gatekeepers of redox homeostasis and modulate immune function to effect anti-inflammation resolution. However, mechanistic underpinnings involving metabolic reprogramming during inflammation resolution remain poorly understood. Bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation murine bone marrow-derived macrophages cultured in presence or...
Repeat associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of CGG repeats in the 5'UTR FMR1 produces toxic proteins that contribute to fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) pathogenesis. The most abundant RAN product, FMRpolyG, initiates predominantly at an ACG upstream repeat. Accurate FMRpolyG measurements FXTAS patients are lacking. We used data-dependent acquisition and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mass spectrometry coupled with stable isotope labeled standard peptides identify...
